At Mushkin’s option, DRAM memory that fails due to a manufacturing defect will be repaired or replaced with the most similar memory product available at that time. Memory products will be matched by technology type (DDR1, DDR2,etc.) and then by size (capacity). Mushkin will always replace memory with a memory product of equal capacity.
